We've received so many questions about how tariffs and supply-chain issues will affect BPAL's production. How to answer honestly without stoking unnecessary panic? I'll try: We really, really, don't know. 😬

If you’re concerned enough to ask how the tariffs will affect our prices, then you’d better also be concerned enough to call every elected official who represents you and hold them to account. 🖤

Pride is officially over. 😩 On to the next sin! 🥳

WRATH is a scent aflame with rage, swirling in the red haze of hatred: dragon’s blood spiked with black pepper, clove, and cinnamon.

Why would anyone use AI to sell things when you can just play around with lights and colors and textures? It’s fun! You learn skills! The creative process is highly adaptable! It doesn’t have to take a long time!

My everything is tired. There are times I wish my mother were here, not even for her counsel--but for her presence. The rare vibe of "everything is going to be okay."

In lieu of that, I put on her ring, as I always do, and selected BPAL's Blood Kiss perfume as today's scent.

Because of… reasons, this year we decided to anchor our Pride fundraising to a series of perfumes inspired by the apocryphal “first brick thrown at Stonewall.”

First we crafted a single-note Brick fragrance, and then we incorporated this earthy, gritty accord into four additional scents.
